LPIA’ s FAIES English teaching method with its proprietary language laboratory and CIA computer system are the things separate it from others running the same kind of business

LPIA applies the FAIES ( First Aid In English System) teaching method which later turns to be the NEW FAIES.

The original FAIES, which was formed by the Drs. HM. Ali Badarudin SH., 14 years ago, has undergone some changes adjusted to the modern ways of English teaching. It comprises of the communicative, direct, oral, and aural approaches. Basically, students are geared to master the skills with real objects by avoiding translation. Teachers use correct English grammar, stressing on good pitch, intonation, pronunciation, to make students be able to apply the English in real life situations. The LPIA computer trainings use the CIA ( Computer Integrated Abilities) teaching method where students learn the theories, practices, developments of the skills, by integrating applications useful for real life situations. What makes the LPIA’ s teaching method different from others is that the LPIA teachers teach the skills, of using English and computers, instead of the science to its students.
